10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium

Consider the following statements :

Assertion $(A)$ : The circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 1$ has exactly two tangents parallel to the $x$ - axis

Reason $(R)$ : $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$ on the circle exactly at the point $(0, \pm 1)$.

Of these statements

A

Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

B

Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$

C

$A$ is true but $R$ is false

D

$A$ is false but $R$ is true

Solution

(a) Both the sentences are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$,

because for tangents which are parallel to $x$- axis, $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$.
